Milanion, an integrated technology company in the UAE, has signed an agreement with Republikorp, Indonesia’s premier defense holding company, to supply Indonesian navy with 20m unmanned surface vessel (USV) conversions.
The partnership was announced during IDEX 2025, held at ADNEC, Abu Dhabi, where Milanion is participating by showcasing a range of sophisticated defense and security solutions (Hall 14 on stand B-32). The agreement was signed by Davinder Dogra, CEO of Milanion Group, and Norman Joesoef, CEO of Republikorp.
The collaboration aims to deliver an initial five 20m unmanned surface vessels (USVs) by integrating Milanions Advanced Autonomous Conversion Kit. The joint team will work closely with a local Indonesian shipyard that has been tasked with designing, building and supplying the boats, as per customer specifications, to tailor and integrate the sophisticated conversion kit solution to meet customer requirements.
Davinder Dogra, CEO at Milanion, commented that, “This collaboration is a testament to the complementary strengths of our two companies and our evolving relationship will unlock opportunities in the tri-service maritime, land and air domains. We are confident that we can create new and innovative solutions that will enhance customer capabilities based on local requirements.”
The agreement highlights both companies’ commitment to expanding their collaboration and creating a framework to unlock potential opportunities in Indonesia for highly mobile, sophisticated solutions, tailored to local operational requirements.
IDEX 2025, which stands for the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX), is a premier defense exhibition. The event provides a global platform to showcase cutting-edge defense technologies and promote collaboration among international defense entities.
